LONDON, July 6 (UPI) -- Capt. Harry Wales, the helicopter pilot known in civilian life as Prince Harry, qualified as an Apache aircraft commander, U.K. military officials said Friday.
The Ministry of Defense said the prince performed well on a 6-hour assessment, the Daily Mirror reported. He flew the attack helicopter on a circuit of England, taking off from a Suffolk airfield and heading up to Newcastle, across to Carlisle and down the west side of the country while being put through various emergency scenarios.
